IOS 15.1 Tethering Wi-Fi not working

After upgrading to IOS 15.1 tethering via Wi-Fi for a gen 2 iPad mini isn’t working. Tethering in general is working for most devices, everything works perfectly fine on IOS 14. I can use tethering via Bluetooth and direct connection on the iPad for which Wi-Fi doesn’t function on IOS 15, which leads me to believe something in IOS 15 as far as backwards compatibility has been removed. Anyone else seeing this issue?
